SweetFX Debate

So I have been crusing the forums and I noticed the staff didn't comment on the use of smaa or they did rather. but it was a non answer.

So let me tell you what sweetfx does and if it can potenically get you banned under the TOS.

First sweetfx is a directx filter nothing more nothing less. the fact sweetfx can manipulate the graphics like this is simple. Its coded into direct x to allow this.

Is sweetfx a third party program and does it break the tos the simple answer is no.

The long answer is sort of.

You see sweetfx the tradmark mod is technically third party but anything it does is not.
Because it is hardcoded into direct x to do this. For Arena net to ban poeple for using this would be like banning poeple because they used nvidia control panel or ATI catalyst to up the graphics and overide the guild wars AA. something we both know is not bannable.

If SweetFX is truly only a directX filter, then it's fine. Arenanet has maintained the policy from Guild Wars 1, stating that injectors and altering visual modifications (that don't assist with gameplay), are perfectly fine.
